Rise and shine, was a common expression over here. I guess the shine park was expected after you got cleaned up. Those days were before tubs and showers. A wash pan and a wash rag made you shine like a new penny.

Sunrise or morning is the best time in the world, I think, for photography where I live as it illuminates the things I photograph in my limited backyard space. The afternoon sun is actually better but then I have shadows to deal with and those are not always so welcome.

I appreciate your visit and comment about my good looks 57 years ago. You ought to see me now. LOL

Those were the days when how you looked seemed important to me and to everybody. Nowadays, not so sure. My wife was a zinger. She still is but after 57 years of marriage we are both just growing older together. She is 76, and I am 78.
